Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
ALLOW	Allows the use of the wrapper arrays.
DISALLOW	Throw an informative and actionable error if the types are used explicitly in the domain model
LEGACY	Allows the use of the wrapper arrays.
PICK	Hibernate will pick between ALLOW and LEGACY depending on whether the Dialect supports SQL ARRAY types.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static WrapperArrayHandling	interpretExternalSetting(Object value)
static WrapperArrayHandling	interpretExternalSettingLeniently(Object value)	Form of interpretExternalSetting(Object) which allows incoming null values and simply returns null.
static WrapperArrayHandling	valueOf(String name)	Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static WrapperArrayHandling[]	values()	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Detail

DISALLOW

public static final WrapperArrayHandling DISALLOW

Throw an informative and actionable error if the types are used explicitly in the domain model

Implementation Note:

The default behavior; unless JPA compliance is enabled - see PICK

ALLOW

public static final WrapperArrayHandling ALLOW

Allows the use of the wrapper arrays. Stores the arrays using ARRAY or SQLXML SQL types to maintain proper null element semantics.

LEGACY

public static final WrapperArrayHandling LEGACY

Allows the use of the wrapper arrays. Stores the arrays using VARBINARY and VARCHAR, disallowing null elements.

See Also:

ByteArrayJavaType, CharacterArrayJavaType

API Note:

Hibernate recommends users who want the legacy semantic change the domain model to use byte[] and char[] rather than using this setting.

Implementation Note:

The pre-6.2 behavior

PICK

public static final WrapperArrayHandling PICK

Hibernate will pick between ALLOW and LEGACY depending on whether the Dialect supports SQL ARRAY types.

Implementation Note:

The default if JPA compliance is enabled.

Method Detail

values

public static WrapperArrayHandling[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (WrapperArrayHandling c : WrapperArrayHandling.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static WrapperArrayHandling valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

interpretExternalSetting

public static WrapperArrayHandling interpretExternalSetting(Object value)

interpretExternalSettingLeniently

public static WrapperArrayHandling interpretExternalSettingLeniently(Object value)

Form of interpretExternalSetting(Object) which allows incoming null values and simply returns null. Useful for chained resolutions
